There's lots to like here.

My take is that a landscape shot might be worth doing.

I envision one where we give up the foliage on the near shore and extend the shot off to the right, maximizing the leading line of the water. The near foliage was a bit of a distraction to the nice fall colours on the far shore anyway.
This is more of an alternate way to shoot the scene rather than a critique, but you have some critiques already.
